Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...

Discover how the Luhn Algorithm verifies credit card accuracy, supports secure transactions, and helps prevent errors in inputting Social Security numbers.

This paper first exposes some of the defects in the interval arithmetic algorithms of Moore and Krückeberg. Then it identifies classes of problems on which these algorithms compute "optimum bounds".

SMU Office of Research & Tech Transfer - Have you ever followed a recipe to bake some bread? If you have, congratulations; you have executed an algorithm. The algorithms that follow us around the ...

Cathy O’Neil believes there is a dark side to numbers. A mathematician by training, she earned her doctorate at Harvard and went on to become a tenure-track professor at Barnard College. In 2007, ...

Many people experience mathematics negatively. Many more students have difficulty in performing basic arithmetic operations that may ultimately exclude them from full participation in society (Moses, ...

Many communication and graphics applications are computation-intensive, yet no one has paid much attention to optimizing the hardware that implements mathematical functions. Traditional implementation ...

When they start college, students face many challenges, but one of the hardest is figuring out how to pay for things. With things like tuition, books, housing, and daily costs to think about, learning ...

FCPS recently sent home math brochures describing what students in each grade will be learning this year. Unfortunately, these documents give the inaccurate impression that FCPS is committed to ...
